I'm still trying to understand the status quo. Correct me where I'm wrong: a) K&C makes 1/28 figs & sliding scale vehicles & everyone calls them 1/30 b) CS makes 1/28 figs & vehicles & they themselves advertise them as 1/30 c) TG makes 1/28 figs & 1/30 vehicles d) Figarti makes 1/30...

Australia seems like a tough place. What I want to know is what happens when an Australian meets a New Yorker? Is it like the dreaded Unstoppable Force meets the Immovable Object Paradox? ^&grin

Oh forgot, another thing the data illustrates is why it's a RAL 7000 series (grey) number. 0 Chroma = gray. /2's are near greys.

That's what I was hoping! They have the real WW2 RAL charts in several places in Germany. I've been long thinking about flying there to measure them but I need a partner over there who speaks v.g. diplomatic German ^&grin

Terry, first of all it's been a long time since I paid any attention to German colors so I defer to people more up on it like Frank. The data isn't trying to prove a point about the validity of the helmet one way or the other...just this tool exists, the data exists & I exist, meaning someone...

Surgery with Dremel. There's the way I did it (with uncontrollable excitement, haste, free handed & no safety glasses) and the way it should have been done: wrap with athletic tape around the waste until you can get him in a vise. Don't put any vise contact/pressure on the arms, only on the...

And to give an appreciation for the numbers, the format is is HV/C So 2.66Y5.57/4.23 means Hue 2.66Y; Value 5.57; Chroma 4.23 The units of spacing are 1.25 for Hue, 0.1 for Value, 0.15 for Chroma. Which means you wouldn't perceive a change in appearance until the Hue changed at least to...

Second only to Olive Drab in causing consternation! {sm4} For the benefit of all the toy makers out there, it helps if you have the problem reduced to numbers for you: The challenge toy makers have is to take the real 1:1 paint color & put in a 'scale effect' to make it more palatable at...

This is from South Stalingrad 9/42. Wouldn't mind seeing one of these either. DAK folk might like as well...hobby's never had one Russian 120mm mortar would be cool too

Thanks. I'm lucky the Figarti DAK Tiger sold out so quickly. I've been able to keep out of FL DAK without it. Of course a FL PzIVF2 would have drawn me in as well, but no one is listening to me:rolleyes2:

I meant I wish the Figarti tank commanders were done in FL size or sold separately in K&C size for those who want them. I didn't like the Tiger 100 commander either

the workhorse

The Pershing crew also delivers on this...they no way can compare to the excellent CS Easy 8 crew done a few years ago. The tank itself is quite good, not ideal...but given it's my only Pershing in 16 years of collecting I'm not complaining too much! The .50 cal was a big issue on the Pershing...

I collect both K&C & FL, but I wish this guy was the FL size

Probably Silesia. Stunning to see these guys still holding it together when I read about regular Heer Panther battalions vaporizing at this point in the war. These guys must have been good.

Haven't bought Gunn in ages & not playing the Club Fig game

My opinions on WP training would not be printable here

If you look at the postwar to modern militaries, you see German influence all the way, from weapons to doctrine. Monty would dance with Rommel till he ran out of fuel. Russia had massed waves. America would fall back and call in an artillery or carpet bombing armageddon. Not the stuff of...

Love the HBs too. Surprised I've never seen anyone mate them up with the Reichbahn system. The three of them would look snazzy on a train

Mitch I agree it is an odd look but there is possibly a different take on it. Without having actually seen it in the flesh, here is another take: I've studied Olive Drab quite a bit, not just the color but the gloss levels too in the specifications. For American tanks for example, the tanks...
